Get ready for an awesome day of golf, networking, and some friendly competition at this year’s Big I CNY Golf Tournament on Monday, June 24th. We’re going even bigger this year at the beautiful Timber Banks. NEW this year, you can pick the style of play that suits you best!


9-Hole Golf Social
Great for beginners and recreational golfers. Get in an easy and relaxing 9-holes first thing in the morning before grabbing lunch at the club house. Plenty of time for you to head into the office or take the rest of the day off…we won’t tell.

18-Hole Tournament
Perfect for avid golfers looking to show off their game and want a challenge. This is the whole tournament experience with contests, lunch, and drinks on the course. We’ll wrap up the day and award prizes at the post-tournament reception and dinner. Contests include Longest Drive, Closest to the Pin, Hole-in-One and 50/50 Tee Shot. To keep the pace of play moving, we are once again doing max bogey per hole and max 2 putt. We are also capping the tournament to 32 teams. May the best foursome win!

No matter the play you pick, you'll have a great time hitting the links while helping local charities. Thanks to your support of last year’s tournament, we donated $15,000.  The tournament also supports the Project InVEST Robert Maher Memorial Scholarship Fund, which helps CNY students continue their education in the field of insurance.  

Golf’s not your game? That’s okay. Come out to Timber Banks for the social reception and dinner. Enjoy the beautiful view from the back deck and catch up with friends.

This tournament will sell out quickly.  Payment is required to confirm your registration. Names can be provided later.
